From owning two successful businesses in Asia, hitchhiking Africa at 17 and motorbiking through the Rift Valley, I’ve always had a pioneering spirit and love for adventure and exploring the world.

My interest in the bigger questions about life, "who I am and what I am doing here" goes way back.

Art, literature and culture were always really important to me growing up. I was an avid reader from an early age. Stories had a profound impact. 

From an academic standpoint, I wanted to study the philosophical and psychological sciences and I read two Masters' Degrees.

One in Critical Theory from City University of London and a second in Contemporary Art from Sotheby’s Institute.

My academic focus was on the articulation of trauma in 20th-century poetry and art.

When I came across Life Coaching and NLP almost twenty years ago, I immediately recognised their transformative potential. 

I loved the thinking and philosophy behind it. You're not a victim of the past, and  you are so much more than the events that happened to you. We are powerful and with the right support and approach we can, like artists, be the creators of our our lives. 

I knew these disciplines would enable people to transform their lives. Since then I've qualified in a number of healing methods, and this lead me to EMDR and IFS. Now we finally have a methodology that is capable of helping us with the deepest suffering in an authentic, kind and compassionate way.
